The Aesthetic Union is a letterpress print shop specializing in custom, original editions, and community. Our passion for artistry and craft brings dependability, authenticity, and the human touch to every project we work on. Founded by James Lewis Tucker in 2013, The Aesthetic Union is a celebration of the craft of letterpress printing.
Keeping the human element front and center, we imbue soul into everything we make, revealing the human element in each hand-crafted and unique print. Borne of collaboration we provide a place to come together and create. Small business is about community. I was drawn to letterpress because respect for and preservation of past traditions always rang true to me.

It's not just about making beautiful prints using a time-tested tradition, at The Aesthetic Union we take pride in providing a space for community. Every day we see a necessity of a physical space uniting people in an increasingly digital world. We've made it our responsibility at the print shop to provide a hub for like-minded souls to congregate and create, and we strive every day to encourage and advance a diverse community through our craft.
